What happened to Star Trek Magazine
- Thread starter DrBeverly
- Start date
Same here! For those wondering about the stories:
- "My Name is Mudd", by Craig Shemin
- "The Lost Noel", by @Greg Cox (this one caught me off guard a little, because in this post Greg called it "The Last Noel"), a TOS-era story
- "Into the Cardassian Quagmire", by Adeena Mignogna, a Lost Era story. (On a side note, I really appreciate the name of the ship in this one!)
Oops. I screwed up the title of my own story!
Which, in my defense, I wrote some time ago.
So just in case anyone was curious about the outcome of this, I thought I would share: the strike officially ended on December 17, and Canada Post has been slowly trying to work through the backlog that piled up during the strike. Well, today I received both the physical copies of issue 13 and issue 14. So all's well that ends well!
Of course, I also got a letter in the mail last week from Titan warning me that my subscription was about to expire, and letting me know that they were giving me a special offer if I wanted to renew for a year. What?!
I assume this was sent in the early days of the strike in late November, but even then I thought they already knew the magazine was finished after issue 14.
Let’s all renew our subscriptions so they’ll have to make issues 15, 16, 17, 18,… 
Finally, finally received issue 13 in the post today (UK). Was starting to worry it wouldn't turn up! Just 14 to go now (received the digital supplement just before Christmas), so I expect I'll get that at some point in February. Real shame to see it coming to an end. Sign of the times I guess.
Any news on the next hardcover collection? I’m reading A Year to the Day I Saw Myself Die right now. (Even though I’ve got all the short stories in my digital copies of the magazine, I still hadn’t actually read any of them until just now with this fourth collection, checked out from the public library.)

Not yet, alas.
I still haven't received my copy of the final issue, nor the special foil one that I ordered. radio silence when I emailed them about it to, other than to tell me that it was the american wing of the company that should handle it.
I'm expecting that I'll never see those items

Same thing has happened to me. I don’t expect to ever receive my author's copy of Issue #14.I still haven't received my copy of the final issue, nor the special foil one that I ordered. radio silence when I emailed them about it to, other than to tell me that it was the american wing of the company that should handle it.

It is sad that FANGORIA outlasted STARLOG—in the past you would see two-in-one novels with each cover of a different story.
That might have kept Starlog going.
Titan has Star Wars magazine, right?
I think STARLOG lasted as long as it did because they were owned by individuals who put out wrestling magazines. OMNI came from PENTHOUSE—but FANGORIA is still chugging last I checked.

my foil order just came in today, only a few months late. I'm assuming the american branch of titan got the forwarded email, forgot to reply to me at all, but still shipped it.
Just posting this here in case it may be of interest to our American members.
I received an email from Titan this evening announcing that they have a sale on all the Titan Publishing Star Trek books, which includes the three short story collections from Explorer, and the original Star Trek Online short story collection. The titles are all $10 each, with free shipping within the continental United States. The sale is on until June 30.
Here's the link to the sale for anyone interested: https://anotheruniverse.co/search?q=star+trek+sale
(Note I am not familiar with Another Universe, so this is not an endorsement. However, please be aware that the email appears to have come from the regular address for customer service for Titan USA, and the page itself indicates it is a division of Titan Entertainment.)

Hmmm… I just went to the Another Universe website, put the four Star Trek Explorer Presents books (which were indeed $10 each) in my cart, and started to finish the checking out process only to find that they were going to tack on $20 for the shipping to my address in Florida. I didn’t see anything there to take the shipping fee off. Was there a special link or sale code or something in the email you guys got?

well dang I actually didn't notice the free shipping proclamation in the email (it IS there though!) and didnt' even blink at the $20 shipping charge for the 7 books I ordered, figured $13 a book was just as good as $10. I've sent an email in asking about the shipping situation, I'll post here when/if I get an update from them.
TBH, with all of Titan’s issues, as documented in this very thread, it’s somehow not surprising that they’ve managed to mess up their own sale.
Hopefully the shipping issue gets resolved quickly for all of you.
@youngtrek , just to confirm, there was no special code or anything provided in the email.

I had the same issue. The email and ad both hype the "free shipping," but when I went to check-out, I got quoted a $20 shipping charge. And, no, I can't find any sort of bargain code in the email either.
Dropped an email to customer service, but haven't got a response yet.

I did laugh that they dropped the email at what I assume is close of business on a Friday in the UK. Titan's customer service in the US hasn't impressed me much, so we'll likely not hear back from them until mid week
